Cake Batter Truffles

Remember how I went through that totally weird stage where I was shoveling everything made with brown butter into my face (and yours) like my life was dependent on it? I hope you look back on that time as fondly as I do, because it’s happening again.

However instead of being addicted to golden flecked butter, I am now diving face first into anything Cake Batter flavored. Sure my skinny jeans don’t zip anymore, but I swear I can’t stop smiling. It’s like anything that has the cake batter flavor has a direct line to my happy hormones…or maybe the smile is from all the liquor in the Cake Batter Martini. 😉

With the summer heat beating down on us here in Florida, I have been looking for more and more desserts that don’t require baking. I just can’t handle cranking up my oven when it’s over 90 degrees outside. Last week I made those Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites that require only a microwave…and now we have Cake Batter Truffles that are just as easy!

By using a glorious KitchenAid Food Processor (Giveaway Below!!) to mix together the dough, you don’t even have to break a sweat mixing the dough together. Then you dunk them in some creamy melted white almond bark and decorate them with some bright sprinkles and call it a day. Seriously, they are just that easy.

These Cake Batter Truffles are no joke. Jorge ate one and said it was so rich he needed a gallon of milk per truffle. I had one and instantly had 563498 more and would never think to interrupt the cake batter flavor with milk. 😉

All I know for sure, you must make these immediately. They are perfect for parties (don’t need to be refrigerated) and are the answer to any whiny kid at your backyard Father’s Day BBQ. Seriously, just make them. You can thank me later!

Directions:

In KitchenAid Food Processor with dough blade, combine butter, yellow cake mix, sugar, flour and vanilla extract. Blend until a firm dough forms and there are no lumps left.

Remove from food processor and mix in rainbow sprinkles by hand. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on a large baking sheet covered with wax paper. Place dough balls in freezer for 10 minutes.

While dough is chilling, melt almond bark in 30 second increments, stirring each time. Once completely melted, stir in vegetable oil until smooth. Dip truffle balls in melted almond bark using toothpicks or a fork. Return to wax paper and sprinkle the tops with rainbow nonpareils.

Let truffles coating harden on the counter for 1 hour or in the fridge for 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Truffles do not need to be stored in the fridge, but can be if you like them cold!

I like TNCB and KA on Facebook.

I’m definitely happy that True Blood is back; always nice to be enjoying the sweltering heat while they are doing the same down there in the bayou.

Newest one that just started last Monday that I’m loving is ‘Bunheads’ on ABC Family. It’s by the creator of Gilmore Girls (Amy Sherman Palladino) and also stars an actress from that show that I love, Kelly Bishop. Funny, very quick dialogue and seems promising.

I’m a fan of you and KitchenAid on Facebook and I loved seeing your Seattle Instagram shots. Gorgeous!

New girl!! its hilarious!! 🙂 zooey deschanel is hilarious

Very happy watching Top Gear this summer! 🙂 Love this giveaway.

Hmm.. I currently have the remainder of the cake mix from the Cake Batter Popcorn I made a while back in my pantry. Coincidence? I think not! 😉 I also am in desperate need of a new food processor… soooo… my fave summer show is Pretty Little Liars. {Talk about a guilty pleasure.} And no, I am not a 13 year old girl. 😉

My fave summer show is Burn Notice — talk about addictive!

I love Mad Men–just ended for the summer though 🙁 waaahhh

I’ve been making truffles for a while, but I’ve been doing that bake-the-cake-and-stir-in-a-can-of-frosting version! Can’t wait for an opportunity to try these. I have a neighborhood potluck coming up. 🙂 Thank you for the recipe!

Oh, totally love So You Think You Can Dance! And those cake batter truffles look super yummy!

True Blood!!!

My favorite show is probably True Blood. Although, I think its just because I already into the characters. The show has been a bit disappointing. I am going to try to watch Dallas as well and see how that goes.

I’m a FB fan of both.

I’ve liked you on FB & posted the link above! Fingers crossed as I have a ton almonds to make into butter! For Summer – Dallas returns and no shower seen or who shot who in sight but we have already started to follow this one!

i liked the novice chef & kitchenaid on facebook!

I’m a FB fan of both Novice Chef and Kitchen Aid.

I love all of the morning shows (Good Morning America, Live with Kelly, The View) because I never get to see them during the school year! Otherwise, cooking shows and any of “The Real Housewives” shows will do 🙂

Here’s the link to my tweet:

Here’s the link to my FB post:

Cake batter truffles sound so good! I’m going to have to try them out soon. No bake is definitely great for the summer!

My favorite summer tv show is Pretty Little Liars. It’s kind of a guilty pleasure. I don’t know anyone else who watches it, but I watch it every week! I’ve also been watching How I Met Your Mother on Netflix and I’m obsessed. 🙂

I have already liked the Novice Chef on Facebook, and I liked KitchenAid, too!

My favorite summer show has to be Franklin & Bash – you can’t go wrong with any show with Mark Paul Gosseler in it : )

Right now, I’m using the summer to catch up on all of my taped shows, and I’m also liking America’s Got Talent. I “liked” you and Kitchenaid on Facebook and posted your message about winning. I think this is a link to it, but I’m not sure (it’s on my FB page though!) https://facebook.com/?ref=tn_tnmn#!/amy.m.cohen.5

So you think you can dance! just watched it last night while on the elliptical for 70 min!

I’m a fan on Facebook.

Hey what a fantastic time for this giveaway for me!!!! My litlte guy was helping me make pie crust in my food processor and he knocked over the bowl and it broke all over the floor..EEEK…
Fav summer show is Big Brother…
Im already a fan … 🙂

Favorite summer show this year is Master Chef!

These sound delicious and look adorable!

And to win… I don’t know if I can say what my favorite tv show on in the summer is. I haven’t really been watching much tv. But I have been catching up on old episodes of Desperate Housewives on Netflix while I nurse Elliott! LOL, does that count?

Baseball is my favorite summer program___Texas Rangers, of course
And the College World Series coming up—no favorites yet, just like watching it.

Embarrassing but true: any reality show about women with more shoes than sense… You know anything in the Real Houseives franchise or anything featuring a Kardashian. Seriously, I even watched the show on HGTV about the closet organizer who did their closets in their house remodel.

I “like” you and KitchenAid on FB. PS – Went out and got all the ingredients for these amazing-looking truffles…just waiting for an opportunity to make them.

How fun! … Is it sad that I have yet to discover my summer show on TV so far? I suppose I could say that I’m super pumped about The Newsroom on HBO, but it hasn’t aired yet, so that may be a bust. I’m hoping it is awesome, though!

I like Big Brother

I’m so happy True Blood is finally back!!!! I’m definitely going to make these truffles, sounds so easy to do. I made the peanutbutter prezel crisps this week and took them to work,everyone LOVED them! Thanks for all your quick recipes like this, they are a treat to make. I posted on fb, http://facebook.com/#!/melissa.sudakowdodson

As a dad I must say these were fun for my daughter and I to make. Also, I am a fan of both yourself and Kitchenaid on facebook.

I won’t lie, i haven’t watched too much tv lately so i don’t know what’s on but i KNOW true blood is starting and i love that show! but right now i’m a bit addicted to weeds. i just finished arrested development and needed another tv show to get sucked in to 😉

I love LOVE so you think you can dance. I know I can’t…but most of those contestants can! 🙂

I like you on FB

If we are being honest here, I’d love to say that Wipe Out is HILARIOUS. I would like to think that I could totally win those obstacle courses, not realizing that the it’s probably much harder in real life than the TV makes it look.

Also just liked your blog and KA on facebook. 🙂

Love the blog! Keep up the good work!

I tweeted that this is my new favorite blog! I can’t decide what to make first! (Also liked you on Facebook because even if I don’t win, I need to see what you’re cooking up next!) And my favorite summer show is Breaking Bad, it just hasn’t started up yet.

I have to say I love all those fruity cooking shows that have summer party ideas – I can’t take my eyes away from Sandra’s Semi-Homemade. It’s like she thought of the most expensive and ridiculous recipes and decor imaginable! Just throw some red Dixie cups full of beer and margarita mix and grill some burgers already! 😛

Tweeted about it too! @mangogal

My favorite TV show during the summer is Eureka, so sad this is its last season 🙁

I almost don’t care about TV at all because I want to make these truffles! I suppose I could have my favorite summer show, FSN’s Minnesota Twins Baseball (even though these particular boys of summer aren’t performing so well).

BTW: I have never in my life been able to pull on a pair of skinny jeans, let alone zip them! 🙂

About summer tv shows, I don’t really know but I heard that the new season of Falling Skies is starting soon so that can be one option 🙂

This recipe sounds to die for! I will be making these several times this summer. I don’t keep up on current programming, but have been watching some classics on Netflix… my favorites right now are Bones and Grey’s Anatomy!

I’m loving Master Chef on Fox! Especially because I don’t have Food Network and PBS only has Americas Test Kitchen on the weekends.
PS these truffles look amazing!!

I love me some True Blood! Love your blog!

I am a big fan of So You Think You Can Dance in the Summer, and I am a fan of your blog and kitchen aid on facebook. Also, I just made these truffles for a dinner party that I am going to tomorrow and they are AMAZING!!! I am so glad you are obsessed with cake batter desserts (my favorite ice cream is Perry’s Birthday Bash and these are similar to that flavor but in truffle form!!!!). Keep up the obsession!! 🙂
